Yes, but the grindy sound is overpowered by the other much louder knocking
and tapping noises coming from my engine. I was not able to pinpoint the
grindy sound when I tried that method but it sounds like a water pump.

Get a mechanic's stethoscope.  Lisle is a good brand; the one they sell in
Pep Boys is not.  Remember not to stick the end in a moving belt, and you'll
soon find out where your grinding is coming from.  A long screwdriver
pressed to your ear works too, but the 'scope is better as well as easier
and probably safer.
